Well she came through the back surgery with flying colors. They had to fuse her back but everything went well and they just had to assess her with regard to the hip surgery.

Imagine our surprise when we heard that they had sent her in for the hip surgery today. Now we haven't seen her yet, but we've been informed that she's alert and not in pain. My sister and I are planning on seeing her tomorrow and am looking forward to it.

Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who has expressed concern and sent their best wishes. It is greatly appreciated and although she may not know any of you, your best wishes are very welcome.
